(1553) Approaching rainy, haily, snowy evening, dear reader. Lost six hours (or much blogging) today, still jobs to be done here at the humble abode.

 

13. Old and Peculier writes

12. Deep, heartfelt apologies to IYE, Steve

… AKH is also behind today and I need to get over to Leggy who’s just reappeared. It’s just one of those days. There’s a lady too you see and we’ve just been discussing motorbikes. Saw war room, saw the China-M thing in comments … will have to be tomorrow morning, chaps, sorry.

11. Allison gets around

10. Twofer on Vzla

9. So much on Venezuela today in screenshots

… all basically saying the same thing:

🚨BREAKING: While leftists are crying, more than 65,000 proud Venezuelans celebrate in Buenos Aires

Why won't the MSM air this? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/EoQEOPuSwV

8. Lost six hours today

… plus things went technically awry … pity but no point fashin’ m’sel aboot it. Tried to get Steve not to put “rum” links at HQ but he obviously missed that post. There’s one at 1252, should you care to go over there.

That was just one of many obstacles today. Had no film, had no jazz, no baroque, no documentary short. Found an IYE Bergerac episode … it stopped working. Found some Baroque … not very good. Then a house issue arose, more time out.

So, just jazz and this final post for the day I’m afraid.
